    Good video. I did 300 miles of Uber driving Saturday night. 95% on FSD. It was great, to the point that sometimes I would get so bored just staring forward.... My gripe is during the day, it is really cautious on city streets, needing multiple accelerator presses. It also randomly slows down to a stop on city streets. But the highway stack is by far the biggest improvement I can see.

    A few questions that maybe others have too:
    1. How did you become an early tester?
    2. What do you do for living (something geeky? and Techy??)
    3. What are the yellow arches on screen -- like at 19:38??

      3) The yellow arches are from the ultrasonic sensors. Not sure how much FSD is using them these days.

  • @LiamNelsonj1
    @LiamNelsonj1 10 днів тому

    John, you may have another message from me, I’m sorry this is all new to me. First Thank you for sharing your experiences. Secondly I have a model Y with 54,632 miles v12.6.1. I just changed my tires for the first time. I used to live in Bartlett but moved to Tennessee 3 years ago. If it wasn’T for the terrain here I probably could have waited a little to change my tires. One of the two things that get me about Tesla is they always move into the left lane. DOT’s rules specify that one is to drive in right lane unless overtaking another vehicle then once you’ve passed-them to move back into the right lane. Yes, Tesla will move over but that’s when another car is on your bumper. In many states you can receive a citation for continuous driving in the left lane. The other issue is that when it does move over it cuts it VERY short. Several times I thought it was going to cut off the semi. I have been hoping with updates Tesla would fix this but it doesn’t seem to be happening. I have sent a service note but it doesn’t seem to matter. There are 5 of us in my little neighborhood and they have made similar comments. I don’t know if you can say anything to Tesla and get a response from them. We do have curvery roads here and when in FSD it does drift into other lanes and one has to keep an eye on it. Thank you.

    FSD only being able to back in park got me a fine. A local parking lot posted a sign saying no back in parking, which I did not notice, and FSD backed in. Since back in parking is not legal some places, they need to add front end parking to FSD. And teach it to read.

    • @dennisschlieckau8723

  • @thomasruwart1722
    @thomasruwart1722 10 днів тому +1

    From the Supercharger in Altoona, WI to my driveway, I used FSD: 102 miles - no issues. A couple of interesting / amazing things:
    ° There were two instances of a police car with flashing lights off to the right side of the road. My car moved one lane to the left, passed the police car, and went back into the right lane each time.
    • Upon approaching a slower moving vehicle, my car would change lanes [to the left], pass the vehicle, then move back to the right lane. One time it moved to the left lane, passed a semi, and stayed in the left lane in order to pass another semi about 100 yards ahead. However, a faster moving vehicle was coming up behind us and my car moved to the right lane to let it pass us. My car then moved into the left lane, passed truck #2 and back into the right lane.
    All this might seem mundane but I find it fascinating that there seems to be some sort of "reasoning" going on - it's not just simply following the lines on the road.
    Regarding Slip Start: for all you people in snowy states, use Off-Road Assist rather than Slip Start. It's kind of halfway between Chill Mode and Slip Start but it is great in the snow.

    No updates for 4 months and then 4 in 1 month. Just got 12.6.3. It seems Tesla is trying to bring down the HW3 owners pressure valve with all the BS happening and the HW3 unsupervised FSD no can do announcement. I asked the question to my Tesla service team: when will I expect my HW4 retrofit? 😅. It appears they must build a special PCB as the HW4 one doesn’t fit and it is based on the HW5 PCB form factor, witch makes sense. Upgrading cameras seems absolutely required to me. Will see. They will have to install the front bumper camera, no?

  • @ChrisPetersen-f8v
    @ChrisPetersen-f8v 10 днів тому

    Actually, I’ve seen a couple of rare instances on UA-cam drivers where the latest FSD gets to a shopping center parking lot, stops, and then actually backs into a parking spot between cars and then ends the trip. I was surprised and they were surprised, but this seems like a rare occurrence. Will be exciting when it is a regular occurrence.

    for the behaviour at the stop sign you identified as a regression, I have this on 12.5.4.2 and also got this randomly on all v12 so far; one day it could work perfectly on some stop signs... the day after, it does what we are seeing in your video on the same stop signs.

    John, I’m fairly positive the Forward parking will be enabled with the Juniper Y with the front bumper camera at some point.
    Also, I test drove a New 3LR yesterday with the latest V13, OMG 😱 it was nearly perfect. The experience made me a believer that Unsupervised FSD is not far away. Whether it’s achievable with AI3 is TBD. I spoke with a representative at my local Service Center, who said, the AI3 computer is effectively Maxed out and not to expect any hardware upgrades for at least a year and that’s dependent on when they officially throw in the towel.

    I have used FSD quite a lot and after this last update, the car is driving slower, it is also crossing the white line in curvy roads as you mentioned. I drive about 35 miles from Denver up to the conifer area and there are two canyon areas where it is struggling. I’m sure they will fix this and I have reported it numerous times. The other issue is driving too slow. It’s running considerably under the speed limit on the highway and in town. I can’t seem to adjust it to maintain proper speed.

  • @thomasruwart1722
    @thomasruwart1722 10 днів тому

    These are not complaints, per se, just interesting behaviours. I just drove about 250 miles in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Couple of things to be aware of:
    • FSD would not read speed limit signs on the freeway. For example, if the car was at 55MPH and the speed limit changed to 65MPH, FSD ignored a dozen speed limit signs. These speed limit signs were only on the right side of the road. At one point there was a speed limit sign posted on both sides of the road. Only then did FSD update the speed to 65MPH.
    • In previous versions of FSD, it would read a posted sign indicating the State Highway number, "35" and interpret that as a speed limit. We'd be rolling at 55MPH and all of a sudden we'd slow to 35MPH. Not sure if that is still a problem with my most recent version of 12.6.
    • I had two instances during the day on a two-lane road where FSD saw something in its lane that made it gracefully change to the left lane, get past the imaginary object, and gracefully return to the right lane. I *THINK* the mystery object was dried salt that it may have interpreted as snow or ice.
    • Summons only works about 20% of the time.
    • Every time the car would enter a new speed zone, the Max speed would always go up to 84MPH.

    One other comment the techs need to have the car recognize Minimum and Maximum speed limit. There are some signs on 75 in Georgia and Florida which say Minimum 40 in a 70 Mile zone and the car drops down to 40. We have a sign ‘route 30’ which Tesla thinks is a speed limit sign and drops down to 30. Just another example of something that needs to be looked at. Thank you.

    I am very grateful for your videos one question on the speed control you say you can reduce the speed with the max scroll wheel the same way we have 12.6.1 but is the car driving the max speed or is it slowing down and accelerating all the time because it is driving me nuts it cannot keep a steady speed to save its life. It keeps accelerating running to one side going behind someone slowing down at 60 miles an hour passing them with 80 slowing in front of them. It’s absolutely ridiculous and in the city it keeps creeping miles down every five seconds I have to press the accelerator.

It's the COMMUNICATION that we have an issue with, not the software.
